Dad's Diary 1989-1999 [lightly edited]
Saturday 1989 - [Joe, Mares, Robert and Wes visiting] UMC had chicken Bar-B-Que, donation $4.50/plate. Joe, Cris, Robert and I went on bike ride past Salisburys. Made ice cream. Had the crew for supper. Robert really has an appetite. Both boys need an improvement on table manners – they are nuts on tennis. Got some rhubarb bulbs from Brockman which I planted in our garden. Roberta called, [she] had been to a health camp.

From Dad: How things bring back memories. In 1997 it was Donald Davis, he is still around. 1999: With Wilma Croghan, it was J. Bruner, she use to fix Peaches hair.
Actually, according to Dad, it was Joanne Gruber, not Bruner.
